3. How does a carbon-14 atom change back into a nitrogen atom?
2 answers:
<em>Carbon 14 change back into the stable nuclei Nitrogen by </em><em>emitting electron and electron antineutron.</em>
<u>Explanation:-</u>
Carbon 14 is one of the radioactive isotope elements that contains 6 protons and 8 neutron elements.
A general chemical reaction of Carbon 14 is given below.
This above reaction can be categorized under Nuclear Reaction. When atomic number 6 (Carbon) was irradiated, Beta ray emission happen and new stable nuclei with atomic number 7 (Nitrogen) formed without change in atomic mass of any nuclei. As well as some amount of energy also emitted through this reaction.

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.
- <u><em>Therefore number of molecules(N) present in the calcium phosphate sample are 19.3 × 10^23 molecules.</em></u>
Explanation:
Given:
mass of calcium phosphate ( ) = 125.3 grams
We know;
molar mass of calcium phosphate ( ) = (40×3) + 3 (31 +(4×16))
molar mass of calcium phosphate ( ) = 120 + 3(95)
molar mass of calcium phosphate ( ) = 120 +285 = 405 grams
<em>We also know;</em>
No of molecules at STP conditions() = 6.023 × 10^23 molecules
To solve:
no of molecules present in the sample(N)
We know;
N÷
=
N =(405×6.023 × 10^23) ÷ 125.3
N = 19.3 × 10^23 molecules
<u><em>Therefore number of molecules(N) present in the calcium phosphate sample are 19.3 × 10^23 molecules</em></u>
